[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] New install problem with settings
We are a parish (think county) library with 5 branches trying to migrate from a vendor system into Evergreen. While our library materials will need to be assigned to the branches, our patron database is shared by all branches. Does anyone have experience with this setup who might tell us how the system should be configured so that this can happen? Thank you.
Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] New install problem with settings
Our patrons are assigned to the parent organization (Killeen City Library System) so that they can check out at any of our locations. Materials are assigned to a shelving location, so they show up as Main Mystery or CMB Nonfiction. Does that make sense? Deanna Frazee Killeen City Library System 205 E.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] New install problem with settings
I think so. If I used this, all of our patrons and all of our items would belong to the main branch and we would use the shelving location to show where each item is being housed as in 'Mid-City branch fiction' or 'East-Side Branch picture books'. Is that correct? If so, my next question is how does this affect circulation statistics? Would I still be able to ask for a count of items checked out at Mid-City branch? Thank you.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] New install problem with settings
We have 4 branches. Our patron cards work in any branch and we can pull statistics for each branch - circulation statistics as well as patron statistics. When patrons are registered they are assigned a home library. Sorry, I don't know the hows and wherefores of the setup but I know it works.
